Villa’s drought against the Premier League’s elite continued with a Liverpool loss, which means Villa have earn no points against the EPL’s top 5. After what started so promisingly, similar themes emerged, including the lack of finish, and complete 90 minute performance. On the positive side, rumours were swirling pre-game that Phil Coutinho was close to finalizing a permanent move to Villa.

And then…it was 4! A four game losing streak, and 4 goals allowed as Villa’s horrific run against Spurs continued with another home defeat.

The issues in this game perfectly summarized Villa’s weird season; an unconvincing back-line, and an impotent attack conspiring together.

Exhilarating, pulsating, riveting, entertaining. Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa were at their most convincing best, as they put an 18 year home winless drought to bed against a very in-form Southampton.

Find out how Steven Gerrard and his entourage outwitted and outclassed the visitors, leaving Villa just 2 points behind their south coast rivals.

Falling to yet another of the EPL’s bottom feeders, Villa suddenly find themselves looking over their shoulders after a run of only 4 points from a possible 12.
